Maharet

Maharet (86 BC-) was the wife of Taharqa, the Steward and master planner of Letopolis during the 40s BC.

Biography
Maharet was born in Sais, Ptolemaic Egypt in 86 BC, the daughter of Ghupa. She later married Taharqa, with whom she had one son, Kawab. Maharet took care of her father and son in Sais after her husband became the Steward of Letopolis in 48 BC, and her husband was secretly a major leader of the Order of the Ancients, keeping it a secret from his own family (and cutting out Ghupa's tongue to maintain his silence). That same year, the medjay Bayek rescued Ghupa from Camp Pyrrhos, and, although Magaret denied the existence of the Scarab, Ghupa gave Bayek a letter which showed that the Scarab was sending troops to Letopolis. Bayek headed to Letopolis to meet up with Taharqa, as Maharet said that he could possibly aid Bayek in fighting the Scarab. However, when Bayek was invited to a family dinner with Taharqa's family, Taharqa drugged the wine and left Bayek to die in the desert. Bayek returned and assassinated Taharqa at the Temple of Horus, where Maharet and Kawab sorrowfully approached the body and angrily berated Bayek. However, Bayek had Ghupa confirm that Taharqa was, in fact, the Scarab, and he asked Maharet to ensure that Kawab did not grow up to be like his father.
